1Quæsierunt me qui ante non interrogabant;Those who before were not asking for me have sought me.invenerunt qui non quæsierunt me.Those who have not sought me have found me.Dixi:I said,Ecce ego,“Behold,ecce ego,it is I! Behold,ad gentem quæ non invocabat nomen meum.it is I!” to a nation which was not invoking my name.

2Expandi manus meas tota die ad populum incredulum,I have extended my hands all day long to an unbelieving people,qui graditur in via non bona post cogitationes suas.who advance along a way that is not good, following their own thoughts,

3Populus qui ad iracundiam provocat me ante faciem meam semper;to a people who provoke me to anger before my face continually,qui immolant in hortis,who immolate in the gardens,et sacrificant super lateres;and who sacrifice upon the bricks.

4qui habitant in sepulchris,They live in sepulchers,et in delubris idolorum dormiunt;and they sleep in the shrines of idols.qui comedunt carnem suillam,They eat the flesh of swine,et jus profanum in vasis eorum;and a profane elixir is in their vessels.

5qui dicunt:They say:Recede a me,“Depart from me!non appropinques mihi,Do not approach me,quia immundus es.for you are unclean!”Isti fumus erunt in furore meo,Such as these will be the smoke in my fury,ignis ardens tota die.a fire burning all day long.

6Ecce scriptum est coram me:Behold, it has been written in my sight;Non tacebo, sed reddam,I will not be silent. Instead,et retribuam in sinum eorum.I will render retribution into their sinews.

7Iniquitates vestras, et iniquitates patrum vestrorum simul,Your iniquities are joined with the iniquities of your fathers,dicit Dominus;says the Lord.qui sacrificaverunt super montes,For they have sacrificed upon the mountains,et super colles exprobraverunt mihi;and they have offended me upon the hills. And so,et remetiar opus eorum primum in sinu eorum.I will measure back to them, from their first work, into their sinews.

8Hæc dicit Dominus:Thus says the Lord:Quomodo si inveniatur granum in botro, et dicatur:In the same way as it is said about a grain found in a cluster,Ne dissipes illud,“Do not destroy it,quoniam benedictio est:because it is a blessing,”sic faciam propter servos meos,so will I act for the sake of my servants,ut non disperdam totum.so that I may not destroy the whole.

9Et educam de Jacob semen,And I will lead forth an offspring from Jacob,et de Juda possidentem montes meos;and a possessor of my mountains from Judah.et hæreditabunt eam electi mei,And my elect shall inherit it,et servi mei habitabunt ibi.and my servants shall live there.

10Et erunt campestria in caulas gregum,And the open plains will become sheepfolds for the flocks,et vallis Achor in cubile armentorum,and the valley of Achor will become a domicile for the herds,populo meo qui requisierunt me.for my people who have sought me.

11Et vos qui dereliquistis Dominum,And you who have forsaken the Lord,qui obliti estis montem sanctum meum,who have forgotten my holy mountain,qui ponitis fortunæ mensam,who set a table for Fortune,et libatis super eam:and who offer libations concerning her:

12numerabo vos in gladio,I will number you with the sword,et omnes in cæde corruetis:and you will all fall by slaughter.pro eo quod vocavi,For I called and you did not respond;et non respondistis;I spoke,locutus sum,and you did not listen.et non audistis;And you did what is evil in my eyes;et faciebatis malum in oculis meis,and what I did not will,et quæ nolui elegistis.you have chosen.

13Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus Deus:Because of this, thus says the Lord God:Ecce servi mei comedent,Behold, my servants will eat,et vos esurietis;and you will be hungry.ecce servi mei bibent,Behold, my servants will drink,et vos sitietis;and you will be thirsty.

14ecce servi mei lætabuntur,Behold, my servants will rejoice,et vos confundemini;and you will be confounded.ecce servi mei laudabunt præ exsultatione cordis,Behold, my servants will give praise in exultation of heart,et vos clamabitis præ dolore cordis,and you will cry out in sorrow of heart,et præ contritione spiritus ululabitis,and you will wail in contrition of spirit.

15et dimittetis nomen vestrum in juramentum electis meis;And you will leave behind your name to my elect as a curse.et interficiet te Dominus Deus,And the Lord God will put you to death,et servos suos vocabit nomine alio:and he will call his servants by another name.

16in quo qui benedictus est super terram benedicetur in Deo,By that name, whoever is blessed on earth, will be blessed in God.amen,Amen!et qui jurat in terra jurabit in Deo,And whoever swears on earth, will swear by God.amen:Amen!quia oblivioni traditæ sunt angustiæ priores,For the past anguishes have been delivered into oblivion,et quia absconditæ sunt ab oculis meis.and they have been hidden from my eyes.

17Ecce enim ego creo cælos novos, et terram novam;For behold, I create the new heavens and the new earth.et non erunt in memoria priora, et non ascendent super cor.And the former things will not be in memory and will not enter into the heart.

18Sed gaudebitis et exsultabitis usque in sempiternum in his quæ ego creo:But you will be glad and exult, even forever, in these things that I create.quia ecce ego creo Jerusalem exsultationem,For behold, I create Jerusalem as an exultation,et populum ejus gaudium.and its people as a joy.

19Et exsultabo in Jerusalem,And I will exult in Jerusalem,et gaudebo in populo meo,and I will rejoice in my people.et non audietur in eo ultra vox fletus et vox clamoris.And neither a voice of weeping, nor a voice of outcry, will be heard in her anymore.

20Non erit ibi amplius infans dierum,There will no longer be an infant of only a few days there,et senex qui non impleat dies suos,nor an elder who does not complete his days.quoniam puer centum annorum morietur,For a mere child dies at a hundred years of age,et peccator centum annorum maledictus erit.and a sinner of a hundred years will be accursed.

21Et ædificabunt domos,And they will build houses,et habitabunt;and will inhabit them.et plantabunt vineas,And they will plant vineyards,et comedent fructus earum.and will eat their fruits.

22Non ædificabunt,They will not build,et alius habitabit;so that another may inhabit.non plantabunt,They will not plant,et alius comedet:so that another may eat.secundum enim dies ligni erunt dies populi mei,For according to the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people.et opera manuum eorum inveterabunt.And the works of their hands will be long-standing.

23Electi mei non laborabunt frustra,My elect will not labor in vain,neque generabunt in conturbatione,and they will not bring forth in disorder.quia semen benedictorum Domini est,For they are the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,et nepotes eorum cum eis.and their posterity are with them.

24Eritque antequam clament,And this shall be: before they call out,ego exaudiam;I will perceive;adhuc illis loquentibus,while they are still speaking,ego audiam.I will hear.

25Lupus et agnus pascentur simul,The wolf and the lamb will pasture together.leo et bos comedent paleas,The lion and the ox will eat hay.et serpenti pulvis panis ejus.And dust will be the food of the serpent.Non nocebunt,They will not harm,neque occident in omni monte sancto meo,and they will not kill, on all my holy mountain,dicit Dominus.says the Lord.
